The 2026 season will be the Pittsburgh Steelers' 94th in the National Football League (NFL), their 26th playing their home games at Acrisure Stadium, their fifth under general manager Omar Khan, and their first under new head coach Mike McCarthy. This will be their first season since 2006 without longtime head coach Mike Tomlin, as he stepped down on January 13, 2026, following their defeat in the Wild Card round of the 2025 season the night before.[1] The Steelers will attempt to improve on their 10–7 record of the past three seasons and will attempt to end their seven-game playoff game losing streak dating back to the 2016 season. This season will begin with only the team's fourth head coach in 58 seasons.
